Thought this was why Joey G was hired?

4.5 out, 5 in the loss column. Its not like anyone is running away with the east. Still plenty of baseball left.

Yes they are quite fortunate to be this close. It doesn't alleviate the stinkage that permeates this team, but from a fan perspective the frustration from watching the day to day futility is only eclipsed by the fact that 3/4 of the season is still left to play. That can be a good thing or a bad thing for our mental health and well being. We'll see :)

Frustraiting is the word, boring and lifeless are two others that come to mind.

I don't see anything wrong with fans venting their frustration.

Well at least the Yankees were not pre-season favorites to go to the WS like that other last place team, the Tigers. So we got that going for us.

Subway Series this weekend. Let's look for some faith to convert itself into convincing wins.

We're in better shape than we were this time last season, and the offense hasn't even showed up.

So the only reason I can see people getting so frustrated is the competition is looking so much better this year.

In the past years we reached the playoffs and the problems stayed the same, maybe this year will be different and real changes will happen in this team for next year.

This team is

a) boring to watch
b) not very good.

But there's no denying the team's play has also deteriorated. We can keep looking for reasons to overlook the team's poor play, or we can face the fact that we're nowhere near as good as we wish we were.

Jeter's "slide" into second in the 6th inning was a perfect summation of this season to this point.

That oughtta be effective..... NOT

Just what do you think Joe can accomplish by showing players that he does not support their efforts?

Just what do you think Joe can accomplish by showing players that he does not support their efforts? Communicate that their efforts are below expectations?
